You’re conflating games with high end gaming. The iPhone is a gaming platform. It’s one of the largest ones in fact.

Mobile gaming (iOS and Android) dwarves other gaming.

This is the issue that “gamers” have a hard time grappling with because they often disregard mobile games as an inferior product.

But then it leads to the fact that the mobile platforms don’t actually have to cater to their needs other than as halo products. They optimize for the majority of their customers and the majority are mobile gamers who are happy with the range of mobile games available.
